Little reported factoid...when all you guys were doing a great job demonstrating outside the Naval Observatory with the "Sore Loserman" signs and "Get out of Chaney's House" chants...Gore called up the head of the AFL and begged to have them bus some counter demonstraters over there....but they wouldn't do it...

What tripe. Albert Gore Junior was brought down in the polls supposedly because he had his gaffes challenged in the media (and on the internet) yet there is no mention of the savage treatment that George W. Bush got from the media when he gave the same speech several times and flubbed it once. Algore was challenged on the substance of his lies, exagerations, and brag.

And Algore's friend in the Senate, Dan Quayle, didn't get handled with kid gloves in the spotlight either.
